For my bit,

The quotes - fair enough, although I have probably over quoted in the past but i do try to trim them down.

The @.  I use it, can't see a problem with it.

Changing thread title - A poor practice in my opinion. I would prefer to put a title in bold at the top of my post, a recent example from me being http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,13037.msg108633.html#msg108633 That's better than changing the title of the thread.

Quotes are important so people can follow easily, but quotes should be trimmed to just the sentence you are responding too otherwise it becomes mis-leading

Is it any wonder we don't get many members posting, What a complete load of cobblers.

I agree but I may be reading your post in a different way. i,e. I suggest it's a load of cobblers to say we don't get many members posting.

You're an asset to the management team, George.

I note you didn't quote the whole quote, which maybe would have...no, did, in fact, make it entirely clear what Les meant to say.

[Les]

As the fella says "Who is the more foolish- the fool, or the fool who follows?"

And as the other fella said

"The fool who leads, the fool who follows knows hes a fool
 and wants some one who isn't a fool to lead, being a fool, he
 chooses a fool that he thinks ain't a fool to lead, the fool who leads
 doesn't even know he is a fool."

George,
I would suggest that you read the post as it was meant to be, and not what you want it to be,
Please engage brain, before opening mouth, (or typing post)

PS
Thanks, Garp
At least 2 of us are on the right page

It's a shame that after mick made such an interesting post, it has been hijacked in the way it has.

[Madrasandy]

Highjacked well and truly, I had even forgot what the original post was about, and it was a great post, what a shame

Lads, the fool would be the one who thinks that this banter is exclusive to this page.  In every single forum I visit, these very same points are debated. There is never an answer and some members will never read about it, so they carry on, oblivious to the frustration, or lack of, that is causes, or doesn't, in others.

Hijacking, over-quoting, aggression, repartee, textual jousting, censorship, etc.  are all part of the digital age, along with many other unwelcome but unavoidable consequences of the technology we use and have come to rely on.

I believe that this thread has significant merit as it allows people to express their feelings about how a shared resource is used.  As a public place we need to be mindful of just that.  I disagree with the suggestion to remove it, but lets keep it civil eh what!

Does anyone else appreciate Phil's habit of amending thread titles in the middle of a thread?

No. Not in the slightest. And I've berated Phil for doing it before and no doubt will again in the future. The old cuss just won't learn will he?
